Fatigue
Synopsis
The story follows a small-time loser Mitchell Willow, a chronic alcoholic whose girlfriend, Rachel, has left him. In desperation, Mitchell takes a delivery job for local hard man Eddie Heaver. During his deliveries, curiosity gets the better of Willow and he opens one of Heaver's packages and to his horror discovers a severed thumb. He now realises it's time to get out, but there's one last delivery to make.
Heaver has ideas of his own, and plans to double-cross underworld figurehead Mr Wernside and set Mitchell up to take the fall. Mitchell and Eddie have to meet Wernside's psychotic right-hand man, Traven. The drop goes horribly wrong and descends into a fierce shoot-out. Mitchell ends up with a bag of diamonds, a gun and the mob hot on his heels. There's only one person he can turn to - Rachel. Can the two of them escape Wernside's heavies, keep the diamonds and start a new life together?

Clocks
Director: Yv Shells
Year: 2026
When Arlo arrives to find Marcus has cooked someone else’s favourite meal, a single question begins to unravel an evening that refuses to stay in the present. Through a fractured timeline set entirely within one dining room, we move between Marcus and Arlo and the relationship that came before, with Una, the woman he met at a late-night bus stop and once talked about marrying. The same table, the same chairs, the same arguments about trust, honesty and what it means to truly see someone. As the timelines bleed together, it becomes clear that Marcus has never fully left the past, and that Una’s ghost sits at every table he sets. When Arlo asks what her own favourite meal is and he cannot answer, the film’s quiet devastation lands completely. CLOCKS is a portrait of a man who loves generously but sees poorly, and the women who carry the cost. It asks what we owe the person in front of us while we are still in love with someone we lost, and whether a feeling ever truly ends.
